During an interview with Collider, producer Neal Moritz had the chance to give us a little update on where two anticipated comic book adaptaions are headed right now. When asked about the film based on the Preacher series of graphic novels written by Garth Ennis, he mentions that they are trying to get it to the silver screen. "We’re actually talking about a little different direction on it. It is a priority, but it’s one of those that is—a very hard movie to get made in Hollywood today. But we’re really working on it." As for the adaptation of The Boys (also written by Garth Ennis), he simply says: "The Boys we’re working on with Adam McKay right now. He would love to do it and we’re in the middle of working on it right now." Stay tuned to CBM for more possible news on both projects.

I don't think you can effectively condense Preacher into a movie - as most have said, a TV series is the best way to go with that and tell the whole story.

I've just finished The Boys - again ideally it would be a series, but there's a lot of stuff which could be shortened or cut out and I think it might be possible to condense that into a movie without totally ruining what it's about. I can't really see it being massive, but if they could keep the budget reasonable, I don't see why it couldn't do Kick-Ass numbers.
